Download or read book What Got You Here Won t Get You There written by Marshall Goldsmith and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2010-09-03 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your hard work is paying off. You are doing well in your field. But there is something standing between you and the next level of achievement. That something may just be one of your own annoying habits. Perhaps one small flaw - a behaviour you barely even recognise - is the only thing that's keeping you from where you want to be. It may be that the very characteristic that you believe got you where you are - like the drive to win at all costs - is what's holding you back. As this book explains, people often do well in spite of certain habits rather than because of them - and need a "to stop" list rather than one listing what "to do". Marshall Goldsmith's expertise is in helping global leaders overcome their unconscious annoying habits and become more successful. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price tag - but in this book you get his great advice for much less. Recently named as one of the world's five most-respected executive coaches by Forbes, he has worked with over 100 major CEOs and their management teams at the world's top businesses. His clients include corporations such as Goldman Sachs, Glaxo SmithKline, Johnson and Johnson and GE.

How to build your network and make useful connections. Ways for you to embrace the proven benefits of a stronger-together approach. Get Over "I Got It" will help you overcome the hurdles you face that prevent you from asking for help, giving you a surefire strategy—and the confidence—to seek support. You’ll be positioned to establish a solid network of support and enroll others in your vision to achieve success.

Download or read book Getting at GET in World Englishes written by Elisabeth Bruckmaier and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its exceptional frequency and versatility, GET has never been a focus of research in its entire variability, which goes from lexical to grammatical uses, nor in large amounts of data from different varieties of English. The present corpus-based study deals with over 11,600 tokens of GET in written and spoken language from three varieties of English and thus provides new insights for variationist linguistics. Firstly, it offers a comprehensive semasiological-syntactic analysis of GET, i.e. an analysis of all its meanings and all the constructions into which it enters, suggesting ten categories as being necessary for its complete description. Secondly, it contributes to the understanding of factors that are at work in variation in World Englishes and lead to quantitative differences between regional standard varieties. Thus, the present study demonstrates that the use of GET in the New Englishes analysed is less affected by substrate effects than by the effects of Second Language Acquisition and the varying influence of British and American English norms. Moreover, it can be shown that the New Englishes display more grammatical uses of GET than does British English.

Download or read book The Idiom Principle and L1 Influence written by Ying Wang and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines delexical verb + noun collocations such as make a decision, give rise to and take care of in Swedish and Chinese learner English. Using a methodological framework that combines learner corpus research with a contrastive perspective, the study is one of the very few in the field to incorporate corpora of the learner’s L1 to investigate the effects of L1 influence. The book provides a highly detailed and multi-faceted analysis of delexical verb + noun collocations in terms of frequency of occurrence, lexical preferences and morphosyntactic patterns. Quantitative and qualitative results on overuse, underuse and errors are presented with linguistically and pedagogically relevant interpretations that include cultural and discourse aspects. More importantly, the book throws light on how L2 learners may alternate between the open-choice principle and the idiom principle as well as the extent and nature of L1 influence on their collocational use.

Conjugation of Verb ‘Get’ Exercises: 1(A) and 1(B) Exercises: 2(A) and 2(B) Exercises: 3(A) and 3(B) Sample This: 1. ENGLISH VERB -- ‘GET’ Get is an irregular verb. Its three forms are as follows: First Form (Base Form) -- GET Second Form (Past Form) -- GOT Third Form (Past Participle) -- GOT/GOTTEN Present Perfect of ‘Get’ – Have/Has Got || Have/Has Gotten Past Perfect of ‘Get’ -- Had Got || Had Gotten Gotten (past participle form of ‘get’) is generally used in Spoken American English. Gotten is incorrect in British English. -ING Form of ‘Get’ -- Getting Infinitive of ‘Get’ -- To Get IMPORTANT NOTE: “Have/has got” is the ‘Present Perfect’ Form of ‘get’. But it is mainly used in the present indefinite (simple) tense. “Have/has got” is generally used with ‘simple present meaning’ to show characteristics, ownership, illnesses, and relationships. ‘Have got’ and ‘has got’ have the same meaning as ‘have’ and ‘has’ respectively. They can be used as present indefinite (simple) tenses. Affirmative Sentences -- They have got computers. = They have computers. He has got a computer. = He has a computer. Negative Sentences -- They have not got computers. = They do not have computers. He has not got a computer. = He does not have a computer. Note:- Negative form of ‘have/has got’ is made by adding ‘not’ between ‘have/has’ and ‘got’; whereas, the negative form of ‘have/has’ is made by using ‘do/does not’. Interrogative Sentences -- Have they got computers? = Do they have computers? Has he got a computer? = Does he have a computer? Note:- Interrogative pattern of ‘have/has got’ is made by putting auxiliary verb ‘have/has’ before the subject; whereas Interrogative pattern of ‘have/has’ is made by putting auxiliary verb ‘Do/Does’ before the subject. However, in past events, you should prefer using ‘had’ instead of ‘had got’ ’ to show characteristics, ownership, illnesses, and relationships. More Common -- They had computers. They did not have computers. Did they have computers? Less Common -- They had got computers. They had not got computers. Had they got computers? Also Note: Use of ‘have got’ and ‘has got’ in present perfect tenses: Pattern: Have/has got + past participle of the verb A project has got stuck. || Many projects have got stuck. And, in past perfect tenses, you should use ‘had got’. A project had got stuck. || Many projects had got stuck. ALSO NOTE: GOTTA - Very informal and non-standard way of referring to ‘have got to’ or ‘have got a’ in writing. This form is grammatically incorrect. Avoid using writing this form. English Verb ‘Get’ can be used in a number of patterns and has lots of different uses and meanings.-- A. “Get” is used as a main verb with many different meanings. B. “Get” is used in several idioms.
